Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method for managing network access, the method comprising: determining whether there is a network connection request from at least one application; checking attribute information of the at least one application, wherein the attribute information comprises a user ID and a data usage; determining an access point name (APN) corresponding to the at least one application based on the data usage, the data usage is amount of data transmitted and received by the at least one application accumulated over time; and transmitting and receiving data of the at least one application to/from a network using the determined APN.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: storing a mapping table in which at least one attribute information is mapped to each of a plurality of applications.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the mapping table further comprises APN information that is mapped to each of the plurality of applications.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data of the at least one application is transmitted and received through a packet data network gateway (PGW) corresponding to the determined APN.
5. An electronic device for managing network access, the electronic device comprising: a processor configured to: determine that there is a network connection request from at least one application, check attribute information of the at least one application, the attribute information comprising a user ID and a data usage, and determine an access point name (APN) corresponding to the at least one application based on the data usage, the data usage is amount of data transmitted and received by the at least one application accumulated over time; and a transceiver configured to transmit and receive data of the at least one application to/from a network using the determined APN.
6. The electronic device of claim 5 , further comprising: a memory configured to store a mapping table, wherein the mapping table comprises a mapping of at least one attribute information to each of a plurality of applications.
7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the mapping table further comprises APN information that is mapped to each of the plurality of applications.
8. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the data of the at least one application is transmitted and received through a packet data network gateway (PGW) corresponding to the determined APN.
